K Lenient Pawnshop.
The Monte d! Pieta at Home, which
hat existed over since 158$, is probably
the most lenient pawnbroker’s shop in
the world. Any person who brings a
pledge may borrow from $15 to $25
without paying aoy interest, but all that
is lent above that sum is paid for nt the
rats of two per cent per annum. At the
end of two years, if the plcdgu is not re
deemed nor interest on the money paid,
it is sold and tho overplus of tbe debt Is
laid by for tho owner, who has it in bis
power to demand it within 100 yoars.—

My friends, 1 find in tho rls 11 Christ a
prophocy or our own resurrection, my tout
sotting forth tho bleu that as Christ hns arisen
so His peopio will rise. XIo—tiro first slienf of
tho resurrection harvest. Ho —"tho first
fruits of thorn that slont,” Before I get
through this morning 1 will wnlk through
all tho oomoterlo. of the dead, through all
the country graveyards, where your beloved
one. aro burled, and 1 will pluok off thosu
flower's, null I will drop a sweet proinUe of
the gospel— a roso of hope, a lily of | ry on
every tomb—tho child’s tomb, tho husband's
tomlr, the wife’s tomb, the father’s grave,
the mother’s grave, mid whllo we celebrate
tho resurrection of Christ wo will nt tho
same tlmu celebrate tho roBurreotlon of all
ilio good. “Christ tho first fruits ol' them
tlrnt slept."
It 1 should corno to you tills morning anil
ask you for tiro names of tho groat conquer
ors of tiro world, you would mv Alexander,
Crojur, l'hllip, Napoleon I. Ah I my friends,
you Imvo forgotten to mention tho name of
a greater conqueror than all of those—a
cruel, a ghostly conqueror. Ho who rode on
a blnok horse across Water loo and Atlanta
and Clmlons, tho bloody hoofs crushing tho
lioarts of nations. It is thu conqueror [loath.
Again and again Iras ho done tills work
with nil generations. Ho is a uumatvh as
well as a conquoror: his palace a sepuloher;
hie fountains tho lulling tears of a world.
Blessed bo God, in tho light of this blaster
morning 1 see the prophocy that Iris scepter
shall bo broken aud Ills palao shall be de
molished. Tho hour is coming when all who
aro in their graves shull corno forth, Christ
risen, we shall rise. Jesus “tho first fruits
or them that slept." Now, around this doc
trine of tho resurrection ttrero aro a groat
many mysteries.
You come to mo this morning and say,
“If the bodies of tho dond are to bo raised,
how is this und how Is that?' An 1 you ask
inoa thousand questions 1 am incompetent
to answer, but tlroro aro it great, many
tilings you beltovo tlmt you arc not ablo to
explain. You would Iro a very foolish man
to say, “I won't hollevo anything I can’t
understand."
1 Hud my strength In this |inssage. "AM
who are in their graves slmli como forth."
I bo not protend to make tho explanation.
You oau goon ami say: “.Suppose a re
turned missionary dies in Brooklyn. When
ho was in China, his foot whs amputated,
llo lived yoars after in England, and thorn
ho had an arm amputated. Ho is buried
to-day in Green woo I. In the resurrection
will the foot como from China will tho arm
come from England, ami will tho different
pnrts of tho body bo reconstructed iu tho
resurrection? How is that possible?"
You say tlmfc “the human body changes
every seven Years, and by seventy years of
ago a man has had ten bodies. In the
resurrection which will como up?” You say,
“A man will die and his body cru ntdo into
dust and that dust bo taken up into the lifj
of tho vegetable. An animal may oat tho
vegetable* men oat tho animal. In tho
resurrection that body, distributed in so
many directions, how shall it bo gathered
up?" Have you any more questions of this
style to ask? Como on and ask thorn. Ido
not pretend to answer thorn. I fall back
upon tho announcement of Go i’s word. “All
who are in their graves shall como forth."
* ou have noticed. I suppose, in reading
the story ot the resurrection that almost
every account of the Bible gives the idea that
tho characteristic of that day will baa great
sound. 1 do not know that it will ba very
lou 1, but l know it will bo very penetrating,
lu the mausoleum, where silonco has reigned
a thousand yoars, that voloj must pjuo-
trate. In the coral cavo of tho doep that
voice must penetrate.

“AH who aro in their grave* shall come
forth,"
“BuV’vou *ay, “If this doctrine of tha
resurrection is true as prefigured by this
Easter morning. Christ, "tho first rruits of
them that slept* Christ rising a promise and
a prophecy or the rising of all His people,
can you tell us aomcthlng about the resur
rected bodyf* I can. There ere mysteries
about that, but I shall tell you three or four
things in regard to the resurrected body
tlmt aro beyond guessing and beyond mis
take.
In tho first place, I remark, in regard to
vour resurrected body, it will bo a glorious
body. The l»ody we hero now ia a mere
skeleton of what It would have been if ain
bad not marred and defaced it. Take tho
most exquisite statue that was ever made by
an artist and chip it here and chip it there
with a chisel ami batter and bruise it hore
and there and then stand it out in the storms
of a hundred years, and the beauty would
be gone.
Well, tho human body has been chipped
and battered and bruised and damagod with
tho storms of thousauds of years—tho phys
ical defects of other generations coming
down from generation to generation, wo in
heriting tho infelicities of past generations,
but in tho morning of the resurrection the
body will be adorned and beautified accord
ing to the original model. And there is no
such difference between a gvmnnst and an
emaciated wretch In a lnziretto as there will
be a difference between, our bodies as they
are now ond our resurrected forma.
Thero you will see the perfect eye after
tho waters of death have washed out the
stains of tears and study. There you will
see tho porfoet hand nfter the knots of toil
have been untied from tho knuckles. Thero
you will see tho form erect and clastic aftor
tho burdens have gone off the shoulder—tho
very lifo of God in tho body
In this world the most impressive thing,
the most expressive thing, is tho human
face, but that face is veiled with the griefs
of a thousand years, but in the resurrection
morn tlmt veil will bo tukon away from the
face, an 1 the noon lay sun is dull and dim
and stupid compared with tho outfiaming
glories of tho countenances o' the Hovod.
When thoso faces of the righteous, those re-
mrrected facer, turn toward the gate or
look up toward tho throng It will In like
tho dawning of a new morning on tho bosom
of overlnstlng day I Oj, glorious resur
rected body!
Hut I remark also, In regard to that lx>dy
which you aro to get in tho resurrection, it
will be an immortal body. These bodies ore
wasting away. Homebody has sai I as soen
ns we begin to livo we begin to die. Unless
we keep putting tho fuel into tho furuaoe
tho furnace (lias out, Tho blood vessels aro
canals tuking tho breadstuff* to all part* of
tho system. Wo must bo reconstructed hour
by hour, (lay by day. Blcknoa* and death
aro all tho time trying to get their prey un
der tho tenement, or to push us off tho em
bankment of tho grave; but, blessed beGod,
in tho resurrection wo will get a body im
mortal.
No mol iria lu tho air, no cough, no neu
ralgic twinge, no rheumatic pong, no flut
tering of the heart, no shortness of
breath, no mnlmlanoe, no dispensary, no
hospital, no invalid’s chair, no speotaclos to
irnprovo tho dim vision, but health, im
mortal health I Oh ye who haveacho*and
pains iiideporlhable this morning—Oh ye
who are never well—Oh yo who are lacerated
with physical distresses, let mo toll you of
the resurrected body, free from all aisottse.
Immortal I Immortal!
I will go further and say, iu regard to that
body which you aro to get in tho resurrec
tion, it will be a powerful body. We walk
now eight or ton miles, and woaro fatiguxi;
wo lift a few hundred pounds,and wo are ex
hausted. unarmed, wo meet a wild boast,
and wo must run or fly or climb or do ige,
becauso wo aro incompetent to meet it; wo
toil eight or ton hours vigorously, aud thou
wo ore weary, but in tho resurrection wo are
to have a body that never guts tired. Is it
not a glorious thought?
Plenty of occupation In heaven. I supposo
Broadway, New York, iu tho busiest season
of tho year at noonday I* not so busy os
heaven is nil tho timo. Grand projects of
mercy for other worlds. Victoria* to Iw
celebrated. Tho downfall of despotisms on
earth to bo announced. Great songs to bo
learned and sung. Great cxnodUious ou
which God shall vend forth His children.
Plenty to do, but no fatigue. If you ure
neatoa under tho trees of life, it will not bo
to rest, but to talk over with somo old com
rade old times—tho battles whero you fought
shoulder to shoulder.
Botnotime* in this world wo feel wo would
llko to have such a bo ly as that. Thero is
ho much work to bo done for UbrUt. thero
aro so many tears to l;o wiped away, thero
aro so many burdens to lift, there i* so much
to be achieved for Christ, wo soinolitnes wish
that from tho first of January to tho laft of
December wo could toil on without stopping
to sleep, or take any recreation, or to rest,
or even to take too l-—that wo c mid toil
right on without stopping a moment in our
work of commending Christ and heaven to
all tho popple. But wo all get tired.
It. is characteristic of tho human body
in this condition. Wo must got. tired. is
it not a glorious thought that after a while
we are going «<» Imvo a body that will ne/er
got weary? Oh, glorious resurrection day.
Gladly will 1 li ng aside this poor body of
sin and fling it into tho tomb, if at Thy bid
ding I shall have a body that never wearies.

Tin? discovery was made the other day
that tho only authentic copy of the nv.tt-
of arms of the State of Pennsylvania had
disappeared from the walls of Independ
ence Hull. An investigation was made,
and then it camo out, although no one
had noticed the omission, that tho copy
had been missing for several years from
among the shields of the various States
that may bo seen hanging side by side.
Capt. Hanson, a member of the Penn
sylvania Board of World's Fair Managers,
who wanted to have a duplicate made
for use at Chicago, can explain the dis
appearance only in this way : “In 187-1
or thereabouts tho Legislature appro

correcting certain defects which were
said to exist in the coat of arms used on
official sea's. To accomplish this work
a committee, consisting of the Governor,
Attorney-General, und Secretary of State,

So far as 1 kuow or can discover this
committee has never reported. It is pos
sible that the Committee appointed by
the Legislature removed it in 1875 to
have copies made, and that it now lies

I hopo that 11m revelation I am about
to make may be considered as strictly
confidential. It must not bo told across
the Atlantic. Jt is one of those accrcla
which one lenrne with slmme and repeats
in a whisper. It refers, in fact, fo the
venerable house of lords. It has to do
with a thing which greatly adds to what
tbe peerage calls tho enjoyment of a
title. It is a secret of tho veatisrlum, or
robing loom. It is nothing less than
tho long ond carefully concealed truth
about the coronet. Yon Jtnow that it is
a crimson velvet cap.vdry soft and pretty
and comfortable, round which ia the
gold coronet set with ' poarja. Now, a
coronet is just a broad circular band, as
everybody knows.
The iron crown of Loinbavdy is such a
hand of gold ret with great rubies
roughly cut, and without any palliative
of velvet. With tho bitre. crown stuck
firmly on bis heed there be was--a king,
just as with hi* wig adjusted on his head
there is the other mull—a lord chief jus
tice. Very well, then. The peer’s cor
onet is not of gold at nil. I run assured,
by ono who knows, that it is of copper
gilt, and that the pearls iu it nro not
pearls,but silver things as big as pigeons’
eggs. Ono more illusion is gone. Wo
shall learn next that tho velvet is cotton
velvet or sateen or soft merino, or even
red flannel. Only copper guilt! Is it
possible?—Walter Besant in London

Never wait for alh'ng to turn up. Go

The Argument Used
the makers of the second-class baking
powders to induce the dealer to push
them off on Royal consumers is that
they cost less than Royal and afford
the dealer much more profit.
But you, madam, are charged the same price
for them as for the absolutely pure Royal, which
is perfectly combined from the most highly refined
and expensive materials. The lower cost of the
others is caused by the cheap, impure materials
used in them, and the haphazard way in which
they arc thrown together.
Do you wish to pay the price of the Royal
for an inferior baking powder, made from im
pure goods, of 27 per cent, less strength? If
you buy the other powders, insist upon having
a corresponding reduction in price.
